Ingredient handling

The handling of ingredients in powder form has many advantages. Powder ingredients have longer shelf life and are smaller, lighter and more convenient to transport and store. This has lead to an increase in powder ingredient use. A wide range of ingredients are available in powder form, including starches, fibres, vitamins, proteins, emulsifiers, stabilizers, spices, flavourings, probiotics, milk, and sugar.

The various powder ingredients have very different characteristics, depending on what raw ingredients they are made from, and how they are modified to fit different processing needs and recipes. Some powders such as aspartame, powdered milk, and tea powders are prone to foaming and require special attention.​
